The manufacturer now has certification for all of its Executive Jet family aircraft. Indonesian air charter operator, Premiair, is adding two 650s to its fleet.

“We now have the youngest fleet in Indonesia and the largest fleet of Embraer Executive Jets in the country thanks to a great partnership," said Ari D. Singgih, managing director of Premiair. "Embraer Executive Jets are perfectly suited to Indonesia with its 17,000 islands stretched over 3,000 nautical miles from East to West. With an annual economic growth rate of 5+%, we expect to expand our business with the addition of the Legacy 650.”
